Lockton Companies Reviews

Pros

The people in the Charlotte office are awesome. Everyone is very welcoming when you start and willing to help out in any way they can to allow you to get the hang of things. People here care about you as a person and not just someone they have to work with. Management is the same way.

Team environment that is easy to work in. You will be pushed to work hard and perform but never asked to do anything unfair. This is good because it pushes employees to better themselves by learning more and improving all professional skills.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work. Stay connected with all the employees regardless of their role compared to you.

Pros

Great work life balance and great management

Pros

Nice office, location, company events and perks (such as beer Fridays)

Advice to Management

I felt constantly overworked and undervalued at Lockton Companies. I would suggest making sure your people feel valued and that the workload is evenly distributed. It seemed like only a few people got the brunt of the work, while others did not. This created a very uneven environment and resulted in me quitting my job after only being there one year. There were also no systems in place to make sure that coworkers treated everyone equally and I constantly dealt with rude coworkers who expected me to work over my lunch and late almost every single day. I hardly had time to use the restroom most days. This was very stressful, overwhelming, and frustrating as management knew this was going on and did little to change it.

Pros

They make it fun by having many events for the employees. Motto, Work Hard, Play Hard.

Advice to Management

Instead of praising the Account Executives, take a look at those underneath them as they are the ones that truly get the work done. AE's get all the bonuses yet the grunt workers only get a measly $200 Christmas bonus.

Pros

Health Benefits
401k Match
Community Involvement
Nice Facilities
Good Location

Advice to Management

Less micromanagement; title and salary match qualification/experience; more diversity

Pros

Lockton as a whole is a great company; good resources at a national level. Privately owned, which had its advantages.

Advice to Management

Do what's right; be nice to people; the producer is not always right.

Pros

Benefits Good, Vacation Days Fair, Beer

Pros

The company is awesome! They really do try to put their employees first and they are committed to doing what’s best for the clients.

Advice to Management

Stop sweeping the problem people under the rug just because they’ve been there for years. Cut the mean girl drama out and pay attention to the employees with integrity who work their butts off, but don’t boast about it everyday and put it in your face.

Pros

The company takes a different approach to supporting and appreciating the individual. We were just given 2 extra days off around July 4th to make a very long weekend. Things like this just happen and it is always a pleasant surprise and much appreciated.

Advice to Management

Lead with the people in mind and how you can balance their needs with the demands of the clients and business.

Pros

Great focus on benefits, perks, community involvement, employee spirit
